Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

After sleeping in the study with Fu Heng for the night, Yingluo's embarrassment suddenly improved. The next day, she vomited less during the day and at night, and everyone in the house was extremely happy.So from that day on, the couple have been sleeping together in the study room. When Fu Heng came back at night, Yingluo was usually asleep. When he left in the morning, Yingluo was still awake. One day is good, and her appetite is starting to recover. Yingluo counts the days, and it will be almost three months. It seems that Ye Tianshi, Concubine Yu and Second Sister-in-law are all right, and her mood also returns to happiness and joy. I thought to myself that the child would be happy only if Ama was with him.

Early this morning, the master and the servant were sitting on the porch basking in the sun, Pearl said: "Master, if I knew this was the case, you and your lord shouldn't be in separate rooms!"Yingluo smiled and said, "Have you thought about what I said years ago?"Now I'm all right, but I'm doing it for you!Pearl blushed and said: Master, do you really want me to go?I can't bear it, what's the good of being married, Pearl never wants to marry!Seeing her like this, Yingluo thought of Mingyu and said, "Zhuzhu, you can have your own children only when you marry someone. How can I delay you."

Pearl said: "Master, if it's not for adults, don't you want children?"Pearl doesn't even have such a person, I won't marry.I will treat the children of masters and adults as my own.I'll go and see if lunch and medicinal meals are prepared.Saying a blessing, I went by myself.Yingluo saw that she was telling the truth, but she never thought that she was always docile, but she was so stubborn, like Mingyu, she didn't know what to do, so she let it go if she thought about it, but Zhenzhu will be 25 soon, married life It's still early.

After taking a nap, Yingluo remembered how busy Chang'an Avenue was still that night, so she wanted to take Pearl and Xiao Quanzi for a stroll, and stop by to see what the mosque was like. Fu Heng said that it was heavily guarded.Remembering that I had only worn that suit once, I wanted to play with it again, so the three of them dressed up as Hui people again and got in the car, followed by the guards from Chunshu Alley as usual.

Chang'an Avenue is more lively during the daytime, with all kinds of exquisite shops, jugglers, and food stalls on the side of the road.Pearl often persuaded her, fearing that the outside would not be clean, but Xiao Quanzi said: "It's rare for the master to have a good appetite. The adults say that you can eat whatever you can eat. It's rare to come out once, and the master doesn't eat much, so don't be afraid."Because Chang'an Avenue is not far from Dong'anfu Hutong, and there is a mosque, there are quite a few Hui people on the street, and Yingluo's master and servant are not too conspicuous.

The three of them played for half a day, Xiao Quanzi saw that Yingluo was still very interested, so he persuaded: Master, don't be out for a long time at a time, you are tired, now you are well, when can't you come?Yingluo nodded, thinking about letting Fu Heng come with her next time, so she prepared to go back home, walked a few steps, and when she was approaching the alley where the carriage was parked, she saw a Mobaozhai on the right, and remembered that she hadn't practiced calligraphy for a few days, Although there is nothing short in the mansion, I also wanted to go in and have a look, so I stopped and looked at the plaque on the shop, which read "Tongshun Zhai" in big willow characters. "Tongshun Zhai", she seemed to have seen this name somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while, so she wanted to go in and have a look.

When I entered the shop, I found no one there, not even the waiter. Just as the master and servant were about to leave, they heard someone shouting from behind. It was a man's voice, speaking Huiyu, his Just after falling, another man's voice said: "You put her down quickly, or you will look good!"It seemed that this Huiren was holding someone hostage, Yingluo's heart skipped a beat, and Xiao Quanzi also looked at her.There was a sound on the stairs, as if someone had come down.Yingluo hurriedly said: Go to the back door.

The three master and servant walked to the back street and found several large wooden barrels in a row at the back of the store, so they hid behind every few large wooden barrels and watched the back door. After a while, the back door opened, and a person with long braids came out first. , dressed as an ordinary Beijing man, masked, holding a long sword in his hand, and then a Hui masked man came out holding an unconscious Hui woman, and the woman was also masked, both of them looked very different. It's ordinary civilians.Yingluo thought to herself: I was wrong.This man with long braids is really not a good guy, in broad daylight, he was stunned by the Hui girl's conspiracy and winked at Xiao Quanzi.

Xiao Quanzi knew that she was going to find the guards in Chunshu Alley by himself in the alley next to him, so he nodded and said: Master, please don't show yourself.Then it went away.Pearl has calmed down a lot after her experience at Zhengjue Temple last time. She looked at Yingluo and waited for her to show her off. Yingluo saw the three of them walking towards the other side of the alley, and said in a low voice: "That person can't walk fast with someone in his arms. Let's see again." look.There was no one on the back street, and the two men kept that posture and walked for a distance. The Hui man was very anxious, and often looked at the masked woman in his arms, and said a few words to the man opposite. Like Yingluo's master and servant, she couldn't understand, but he smiled maliciously and said: She's fine, no one will kill her!

At this moment, several masked men in black suddenly jumped down from the room and surrounded the Hui couple not far away.Pearl said in a low voice: Master, these people look like those who attacked us that night, they are very thin.Yingluo's heart thumped. Fu Heng from Zhengjue Temple told her that he was a lama of the Yellow Sect. Then the man with long braids must also be a lama. His braids are fake, so this is definitely not an ordinary robbery. folk girl.Thinking of this, another thing suddenly came to her mind, and she went to see the unconscious Hui woman.

The woman was wearing a thick black cotton gown, her eyes were closed tightly, her face was covered with a black veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but Yingluo felt that she was the Concubine Rong she saw in the mosque that day.Suddenly one of the men in black laughed and said: "It's really fragrant!"Yingluo no longer had any doubts in her heart, so she went to see the Hui man again, and saw that he was about 30 years old, neither fat nor thin, tall and strong, with a white body, wearing a white cap, and a white tunic, with curly hair like a An ordinary Hui man can't see his face clearly because of his mask, but his pair of dark eyes exposed outside are as sharp as a falcon eagle.Yingluo thinks that he must be the Huo Jizhan Fu Heng mentioned.

At this moment, Xiao Quanzi arrived with more than 20 guards from Chunshu Hutong.Yingluo immediately stepped out from behind the barrel and said loudly: Stop those men in black.The man with long braids and the people in black were taken aback. For some reason, the guards had already attacked fiercely, so they had to rush to parry.Seeing this, Huo Jizhan immediately left in the opposite direction with Concubine Rong in his arms. When he walked past Yingluo, Yingluo said, "Do you know what is in her?"Is it poison or drug?Can you save her?After speaking, he went to touch Concubine Rong's forehead.

Although Huo Jizhan couldn't understand what she was talking about, she made a move to save them, and she was dressed as a Hui nationality. Her heart was not so alert, and her steps slowed down a few times. Yingluo felt that Concubine Rong was not enthusiastic, so she grabbed him and said, "Follow me." I come.Turning around and walking out of the alley, Pearl hurriedly followed.Huo Jizhan hesitated for a moment, then followed.Xiao Quanzi looked back, although those men in black hadn't been defeated yet, they were obviously not the opponents of the guards, and said with a smile: "You guys play slowly, the young master will leave first!"He also followed in a hurry.

A group of people entered the side alley, Yingluo asked Huo Jizhan to carry Concubine Rong into the carriage, the coachman drove, and she, Zhuzhu and Xiaoquanzi walked with the carriage.It was almost dusk now, and she let the carriage go along the street to the mosque.When their carriage was approaching the mosque, the evening ceremony was about to begin. From a distance, the gate of the temple was opened again, and many Muslims began to worship in the mosque, and the guards at the gate were replaced by Muslims.

Only then did Huo Jizhan lift the curtain from the window to look outside, and when he saw her bring them here, he was shocked, and immediately shouted: "Stop!"Although he spoke in Hui language, Yingluo also understood what he meant and waved her hand to stop.Huo Jizhan lifted the curtain of the car, his face was full of anger, and he muttered something.Yingluo frowned, anxious in her heart, but he couldn't understand what she said, and what she said was useless.At this moment, Concubine Rong made a noise in the sedan chair, and Huo Ji hurriedly went to see her.

Concubine Rong had been in a coma and was bumped all the way by the carriage, but she finally woke up at this time, she and Huo Jizhan exchanged a few words, and Yingluo said outside the sedan chair: I am Ning Ying, Concubine Rong, do you still remember me?That blue feathered arrow that day.We can only go into the mosque now, this... this and you can be safe.The curtain of the car was lifted, only Concubine Rong said in a low voice: He can't go to the mosque, he will die if he goes, but with my current state, he is worried about leaving.Yingluo walked to the front of the car, raised the curtain, looked at Concubine Rong lying on Huo Jizhan's lap, and said in a low voice: Trust me, I won't harm you.

Concubine Rong looked at her, she was indeed the masked girl in green robe she saw that night, but she was wearing a white cloak today.It turned out that she knew her identity.I thought that she was the one who made an appointment with me today, and it was precisely because this girl had seen the blue feather arrow that she came to the appointment because she was worried. I didn't expect that the person who asked me was not her. Although she was surrounded just now, but whether she is an enemy or a friend, it is really difficult to decide in her heart.Seeing her hesitation, Yingluo knew what she wanted, and said again: "Then where do you think you can go?"Where is safe?The mosque is surrounded by heavy guards. Only during the short period of the evening ceremony, there are many people in the mosque, which is relatively safe. The most dangerous place is the safest.

Concubine Rong was still hesitating, Yingluo said: Madam, how can you go back to Baoyue Tower with your current state?can you walkSend you to the temple, you can go back, and then let him leave with the worshipers.Concubine Rong finally nodded and said a few words to Huo Jizhan. After the two talked for a while, Concubine Rong said to Yingluo: Thank you very much.

A group of people parked the carriage in the alley, Huo Jizhan carried Concubine Rong down, put her on the ground gently, and helped her stand.Seeing Huo Jizhan being very gentle and careful to her, Yingluo was very moved.Concubine Rong said: He is very grateful to you, but he can't show his face, so he won't let you see his appearance, don't mind.Huo Jizhan also nodded slightly to her.Yingluo shook her head with a smile, thinking: It's come to such a juncture, he still pays attention to this, no wonder Concubine Rong likes him.At this moment, the captain of the guard also came in, and said to Yingluo: Madam, those people have escaped, we are worried about Madam's safety, and we are in a busy street again, so we didn't chase them, the others will arrive soon.

Yingluo nodded and said: Let them go, you will wait here.Concubine Rong felt a little strange when she saw that the captain was dressed as an ordinary civilian, but called this girl who was dressed as a Muslim as his wife, but it was not easy to ask.Yingluo called Pearl to come up, and they supported the weak Concubine Rong together, and she finally smelled the fragrance of Concubine Rong.Huo Jizhan and Xiao Quanzi walked behind side by side.When approaching the gate of the temple, Yingluo whispered, "Can you do it?"We're letting go.Concubine Rong nodded and tried to stand up straight.So a group of five people slowly entered the gate of the temple.It was calm all the way.

Into the cathedral, they stood together.Yingluo asked Concubine Rong and Huo Jizhan to stand on the far side. Concubine Rong was on the outside, the door closest to the right. If there was any abnormality, they could quickly go out from the right.Concubine Rong couldn't stand still, her body was still trembling slightly, almost leaning against Huo Jizhan, who was holding her left hand tightly with his right hand.Before the evening ceremony started, there was a commotion outside, and the footsteps were noisy, as if heavy soldiers had come.The five of them were taken aback.I only heard someone outside saying: The emperor is here!Then it was translated into Hui language.

The people in the chapel were very surprised. They didn't know what had happened, and they were in a mess.Concubine Rong and Huo Jizhan both glared at Yingluo, Yingluo only whispered to Xiao Quanzi: You have a token, take them to the small hall over there.Then he said to the two of them: "It's okay here, I'm here, you guys go away!"After a while, the emperor will leave, and you will come back and go out with others.Seeing that she showed no fear, Concubine Rong felt strange, but she had no time to think about it, and immediately dragged Huo Jizhan and Xiao Quanzi to the door on the right while taking advantage of the chaos.

When I was young, a group of eunuchs came in from the big chapel, separated the crowd, and stood in two rows facing each other in the middle, opening a wide road. Ying Luo had been paying close attention and managed to stand by the side of the road.Then the emperor walked in with an elderly Hui nationality and Fu Heng.Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Fu Heng, but she didn't know how to let him know that she was here. Just as she was thinking about it, someone bumped into her lightly. Pearl hurriedly supported her, but the cap on her head rolled to the middle of the road. , just in front of the Hui old man and Fu Heng who were walking forward.

Fu Heng shortly picked up the little hat, looked around, and Yingluo said, "My lord, that's my hat."Then he winked at him, and he walked slowly to her side, handed her the hat, and said: Girl, put it on.Yingluo pointed to the door on his right with her eyes, and shook her head slightly. Fu Heng was slightly surprised, nodded slightly, and walked back.Naturally, no one else saw the quick exchange of glances between the two of them.

The old man said a few words on it, so everyone knelt down to the emperor, and then let the old man arrange, and everyone lined up. It turned out that the emperor wanted to do the evening ceremony with everyone.At this time, Fu Heng walked up to the emperor and whispered a few words, the emperor nodded, and Fu Heng went to the door on the right.But when the evening ceremony was about to begin, he came back and whispered a few words beside the emperor. The emperor was a little surprised, but still nodded.

Then came three evening rituals.After the evening service was over, the old man went up and said a few more words, and then the emperor also went up. He looked at the crowd, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "All praises are to Allah, the Lord of the world, the Lord of the Merciful, the Lord of the Merciful, Lord of the Day of Retribution, we worship only you and ask for your help".This is the sentence of serving Allah that Hui people are familiar with, and then the old man translated it into Hui language. Everyone was very happy, and the old man led the crowd to salute the emperor again.

After the end, the eunuch opened up the middle way again and let the three emperors leave.When Fu Heng passed by Yingluo, he said in a low voice: Baoyue Tower.Yingluo understood, and immediately took the pearl through the crowd and went to the door on the right, only to see that the guard at the door was no longer there, probably because Fu Heng had sent her away.
